Apple's iPad-Centric Event to Take Place on October 22

[Robster3]

Come on Touch ID on the iPad 5!
I feel left out with my iPhone 5 not having it.
I just typed in my password to complete an iTunes purchase as if I were some sort of neanderthal!

dont get excited its hit and miss on 5s

 

[deputy_doofy]

Ah, yes. The wish list...
• iPad mini with an A7 and retina display OR a full-sized iPad with an A7X. (64GB)
• iPhone 5s — Eventually I'll get my hands on one. Perhaps "sensorgate" will work itself out by then.
• MBP (probably retina)

Well, ok. It's a bit more than a wishlist. I am buying. Time to update all Apple hardware.

 

[Kobayagi]

What you described as your experience is exactly what was meant by "on its last legs" and "crazy slow".

Haha, yeah okay. But I mean't it as, it's still fine for normal use (browsing, mail, music etc.) but if you're a more demanding user, who wants to play around with newer apps and play the latest games, then it's become slow.

 

[Narnett]

Would love to see ac wireless on these as well since they aren't primarily a cellular device like the phones (which didn't get it).

 

[Richy23]

Cannot wait! I'm upgrading my iPad 2 and it should be amazing!

 

[satchmo]

It'll be interesting to see how Apple differentiates the two iPads.

It might just be a case of allowing users to choose based on needs.

A larger iPad even with the same resolution as an iPad mini, is better suited for some applications i.e. keyboard, DJ, drawing and presentations. And for people with poor eyesight like myself.

So the only difference between both iPads will be the size?

I hope this is true because I hate how they gave the Mini a less powerful processor.

Sorry you guys won't get new MBPs, but I'm in for a retina mini! Come on 10/22!

 

[mandoman]

Can't wait for Mavericks! I've been clinging to Snow Leopard for far too long, but am ready to finally make the jump.

Would love a MacPro if they can offer the base model closer to $2k, but it will probably start at $2.5k. I will probably settle for a new Mac Mini, I hope those are released soon too. A new 4k ACD would be a sweet surprise, but I am sure those will be priced way out of my budget.

Going to stick with my iPad 3 for another year, it still runs great.

My sister is dying for a new MacBook Pro. Hopefully they will release those soon. Silent update in November? I hope they bring back the 17" MBP!

 

[portishead]

Mini Retina with Touch id or no money for you.

 

[A Hebrew]

Sorry Apple, Sony is getting my money this holiday season.

Except we are getting new MBPs.

No one gives a **** about the iPad toy.

Apple doesn't care about the computer anymore.

 

[Klae17]

I beg to differ...even though Apple is selling millions of iPhones, iPads, and iPods....it's still a side project and not the main focus at Apple.

Apple is still a computer company, and they are still focused on innovating with the Macintosh and being the industry leaders in Personal Computing.

YEs - The iPhone is a SIDE PROJECT

and so is iOS for that matter. More like a pet project...a mobile OS...not their Main Deal which is Mac OS X

/endofstatement

Their main deal is iOS. I don't think you will find ANY evidence of your claim.

The OP from this thread said "iPad mini 2 will NOT have retina display, stop dreaming!"

If it does, he will get slammed

That was over a year ago. He has long since admitted he's wrong and already eaten his crow pie.

It will have Touch ID. But due to this will be in VERY Constrained supply until
early 2014.

 

[Mattsasa]

I think Apple will do three things:

1. Introduce non-retina mini with A6 starting at $299.

2. Introduce retina mini with A7X starting at $399.

3. Introduce iPad 5 with Touch ID and A7X for $499.

The retina iPad mini will not replace the current mini. I learnt my lesson with the 5C, Apple does NOT do cheap.

I think this is likely !

Discontinuing the iPad 2 of course

 

[crackbookpro]

I'll be getting one of these new iPads... still have my iPad 2 with iOS 5, and love it!!!

Apple is going for the kill on this redesign. Willow Glass next on the iWatch.

Agree on the 5C. Quite impressed with my wife's Green 5C.

I wonder if we will see some new gold on October 22nd...

 

[Cougarcat]

Maybe not at this event, Dalrymple only confirmed the iPads. They might do a seperate Mac event in November.

 

[kcamfork]

iPad Mini Retina / 32GB Entry Price / A7 64bits / Touch ID

This will killl everything.

Keep dreaming. This will never happen.

All darylmple said was 'yep'. He did say or confirm anything about iPads or rMBP, he was simply just confirming the event

Or Touch ID will be only on the iPad 5 at least this time around. Next refresh in 2014 will give the Mini the Touch ID. My guess.

Just put the iPad 2 on Craigslist for $300. Let's do this! Release the Mini!!

Exactly.

Apple's supply chain is about to get hammered!

I mean, not that they're not already...
